Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The characteristic bellow of a monster as it attacks, makes a warning display, or reacts to pain, rendered as onomatopoeia. Usually, but not always, because it is incapable of speech. Common in Comic Books, Webcomics and RPGs without voice acting; rare in Literature. The Written Roar has some fairly standard versions, though the exact number of letters involved vary widely. There are several usual forms of the classic throaty roar, from the literal "Roar!" to the more guttural "Graar!" to the very common "Argh!" The related horrible screech has mostly been standardized around variations of "Scree!" A subtrope of Written Sound Effect. One of the many faithful servants of the Rule of Cool. |

The short-lived comic strip Arnold (1982-88) often had the titular character yell "AIEEE!" for no reason whatsoever. | |

The novelization of Return of the Jedi was one of the few Star Wars books to actually try to write out Chewbacca's speech (as well as that of R2-D2 and the Ewoks). "Rheeaaahhr!", "Groawwwwr!", and "Rowr ahragh awf ahraroww rowh rohngr grgrff rf rf." were typical lines. There's even a Wookieepedia section written entirely in Shyriiwook. Seriously. The Glove of Darth Vader does similarly. |

Animorphs: Tobias' Mode Lock left him in the form of a red-tailed hawk whose calls are written as "TSEEEEEEEER!". The choice of morph is probably not a coincidence, as the red-tailed hawk's screech is the bird-of-prey sound. | |

Not uncommon in the Pokémon games, and more common among the Legendaries: Generation I's Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres all go "Gyaoo!" and Mewtwo goes "Mew!" Also, in Emerald version, Mew goes "Myuu…" Generation II's Lugia goes "Gyaaas!" and Ho-Oh goes "Shaoooh!" Generation III's Kyogre goes "Gyararoooah!" in Heart Gold and "Krrraaawwwrrr!!!" in Alpha Sapphire, and Groudon goes "Grrgggrrrrah!" in Soul Silver and "Gurrrooouuuhhh!!!" in Omega Ruby. Rayquaza has by far the most cries, going "Kiyuryursheeah!" in Heart Gold and Soul Silver and "Kiryararararahhh!!!", "Kiryarassshhhaaahhh!", "Kirrrurrrurrr…", "Kiryarararaaahhh!", "Kirrrihrrrihrrrihhhh!!!", "Kirrihrrrihrrriii!!!", and "Kiiiryarrrarrrarrraaaashiiiii!!!" in Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. Generation IV's Uxie goes "Kyouuuun!", Mesprit goes "Kyauun.", Azelf goes "Kyuuun…", Dialga goes "Gugyugubah!", Palkia goes "Gagyagyaah!", Heatran goes "Gwogobo gwobobobo!", Regigigas goes "…Zut zutt!", Giratina says "…Bishaan!" in Diamond and Pearl and "Giygogagohgwooh!" in Platinum, Shaymin goes "Kyuu uuhn.", and Arceus goes "Dodogyuuun!" Darkrai's cry, oddly, only consists of ellipses. |

One of the most unusual examples comes from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. There is a certain sound vampires make as a battle cry of sorts. In the early parts it was written as "Wreeeee" or "Wriiiiii". But its most famous incarnation, thanks to Memetic Mutation is WRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, this was the vocabulary of the annually appearing Halloween Monster for the first few years of his her existence. These days, she goes "BOO!" very loudly, instead. In a variation, Unigar the Vast Unicorn roars with a blood-curdling "PURR!" (because all normal-sized unicorns in the Bob-verse purr). | |

Watchmen has a incredibly Narmful one when Rorschach jumps out of a window: "RRAAAARRL". No punctuation, and it must always be spelt like that, lest ye draw the ire of the fanboys. (Memetic Mutation frequently uses this for macros, photoshops, and .gifs.) | |
